One of the best compilations in the history of PC gaming

Maybe in this day and age Half Life 2 seems dated and old: I have even heard some kids say they should remake it with modern graphics! When this Orange Box came out though it was cutting edge, story-driven FPS quality. It has subtitles throughout, even for sound effects which is great for the hard of hearing and still to this day is a massive rarity in games.

Portal is the best ever 3d puzzle game with plot and fantastic humour and lovely touches that has entered the consciousness of gaming: it is a platinum classic, a legend. I'm not exaggerating.

TF2 is now free, yes, but I think this purchase makes your account a "paid" one in the same way as buying an item does. When it first came out this game was even more fun than it is now because the community was better. It's still great though, but the loot has kind of taken over everything, just as happened with counter strike.

TLDR, you probably already have these games in your collection but if you don't, please pay the small amount of money to rectify that situation and learn where we came from.

A really cheap treasure box

All of these games are a must have for any PC gamer.
Portal stands out as one of the most emblematic puzzle games of this generation.
Half Life 2 continues an amazing game and story, with a fresh and new experience.
And even though TF2 is free already, it pays off by the amount of content it has.
$20 for these games is a great deal!

The best games ever in one pack!!!!

This pack it's worth its price (yeah even at full price) you'll get Half Life 2, the game which after Half Life has defined an era of the FPS scene, do you remember the presentation at E3 2003? I was completely blown away after watching that gameplay/tech video, it was mind blowing. In the package there are also the two official expansion pack for Half Life 2, Episode 1 and 2 which continue the story of Gordon Freeman and his friends (and enemies), the only let down it's the huge cliff-hanger that Episode 2 left, we all expected an Episode 3 but it never happened, and there are no signs of an eventual Half Life 3, at least not officially since Valve hasn't announced or presented anything new related to the Half Life universe. In this pack there's also Team Fortress 2, one of the most awaited multiplayer games of the last 10 years (it should have been released on about 2004 but it got released 3 years later, in 2007). This game offers lot of teamwork gameplay and it's one of the most played multiplayer FPS of the last years (Note that this game it's now free to play, buying the game however it grants you premium status, but there aren't any differences or limitation between the retail and the free to play versions).

The last but not the least important of the pack it's Portal, a First Person Puzzle game which received critical acclaim all over the gamers world, all this success has made possible a sequel called Portal 2, even greater and acclaimed title released in 2011 featuring great storytelling and even more creative puzzles.

So, what are you waiting for? What? Are you still here reading my review? Just get out of here and buy it NOW!!!!
